Science Ruined ‘Jurassic Park’ Only to Have This Fan Theory Save It…
Talk about going full circle in just one week…
New research suggests that the Tyrannosaurus rex couldn’t actually run, and could only achieve a max speed of just 12 mph. This, among many other reports (such as dinosaurs actually having feathers), changes the way we view Steven Spielberg’s Jurassic Park, especially the scene in which Dr. Ian Malcolm narrowly escapes a T-rex attack on the back of a Jeep.
But what if not only this research could be true, but also the events within Jurassic Park? That would be an oxymoron of sorts, right? Not at all, especially after you hear this nutso fan theory that has my head spinning.
Cracked compiled this new theory (via reddit) into a simple video – sort of like when John Hammond uses animation to explain how they used DNA to create real dinosaurs. Speaking of… that’s exactly where this theory hatches, by suggesting that there weren’t any actual dinosaurs in Jurassic Park.
Let me explain.
You see, what Hammond and his team of scientists would have actually created were faux dinosaurs based on our own interpretations of what they would have looked and acted like back in prehistoric times. The theory suggests that the dinosaurs in the movie are merely the creation of a billionaire madman and at no point did Hammond and co. actually resurrect the mighty reptiles. There’s plenty of evidence to support this claim and to be honest, I actually sort of like this interpretation better than the real thing…

‘Ready or Not’: Radio Silence Filmmakers Tease the “Absolute Banger” of a Sequel That’s Taking Shape
It was first reported a couple weeks ago that Ready or Not 2 is now in development, with Adam Robitel (The Taking of Deborah Logan, Insidious: The Last Key, Escape Room, Escape Room: Tournament of Champions) in talks to direct the sequel to the 2019 box office hit. Additionally, we had learned that Samara Weaving would be returning to star.
Entertainment Weekly caught up with Ready or Not directors Tyler Gillett and Matt Bettinelli-Olpin in the wake of those reports, and we’ve now got an update straight from the source.
“It’s getting figured out. That’s what we’ll say: Ready or Not 2 is getting figured out,” Gillett tells EW, confirming last month’s report. “What we can say is that there is a script that is an absolute fucking banger of a sequel. And however it gets made, and in whatever capacity we are helping get it made, we are so excited that it’s happening.”
“I don’t think we knew after making [Ready or Not] that there would be so much story left to tell,” Gillett continues. “We’re so proud of what that first movie is, we’re so proud of what the sequel is. We’re just really excited, and fingers crossed that it gets made.” Bettinelli-Olpin adds, “And with Searchlight and Samara, they’re not gonna let it down.”
The first film introduced a mythology wherein the wealthy Le Domas family has made a deal with the devil, one that requires them to take part in bizarre – and deadly – wedding night traditions. There’s much that can be done with the premise going forward, even if the first movie ended with Weaving’s Grace massacring the family and burning down their estate.
Wikipedia reminds, “The sole survivor of the night, Grace walks out of the burning manor just as the police arrive. Upon asking her what happened, she simply replies: in-laws.”
